Summary:

The Central school district in Central serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Central Elementary School and Central High School. While the district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, Central High School stands out as a bright spot, with strong academic performance and positive trends.

Central High School is ranked 37th out of 463 high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen a strong performance trend, ranking 106th and 58th in the previous two school years. Central High School outperforms the state and district averages on several key metrics, including 11th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and U.S. History, as well as a higher 4-year graduation rate.

In contrast, Central Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 204th out of 407 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 520th out of 614 in 2024-2025.
